Description	From the vineyards of the Pèppoli estate, a Chianti Classico is born from Sangiovese grapes combined with complementary varieties, conceived to be appreciated at the height of the fruit's expression. A wine capable of representing the Chianti Classico territory and its historic variety through the typical floral and fruity aromas. Pèppoli has been produced since 1985 and since the 2013 vintage part of the grapes have been vinified in the Antinori nel Chianti Classico winery. 2021 in Chianti Classico began with a winter that was not too cold but rather rainy until the end of March. Spring then began with favorable conditions for early budding; however, the vines subsequently slowed down their vegetative cycle due to a rather cool and dry April, rebalancing the initial advance. The months of May and June were regular and not too hot, with some rain capable of ensuring both excellent flowering and good fruit set. The summer was hot and generally dry, especially in August, although at the end of this month some rain allowed the plants to start the ripening process in the best possible way. The months of September and October were ideal, sunny, not too hot and breezy; the cool nights allowed the grapes to obtain optimal ripening and perfect health, predicting a harvest of great quality. The harvest for Pèppoli began on September 15 and ended in the first week of October.
Grapes used	Sangiovese and other complementary varieties
Origin and name	Tuscany - Chianti Classico DOCG
Winemaking and Refinement	The grapes, harvested separately by variety, were destemmed, gently pressed and introduced into stainless steel tanks. The alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature between 26 and 28 °C in order to enhance the aromatic expression and preserve the fruity and floral notes of each variety; the maceration, managed with mechanical interventions aimed at extracting soft and sweet tannins, lasted about 10 days for the Sangiovese up to a maximum of two weeks for the complementary varieties. Once the malolactic fermentation was completed by the end of winter, the assembled wine was transferred to wood, where it matured in large Slavonian oak barrels and, for a small part, in barriques and stainless steel tanks. The bottling took place in January 2022.
Tasting notes	Pèppoli 2020 has a ruby red color. The nose shows intense notes of red fruits such as cherry, currant and strawberry, accompanied by a floral background of violet and lavender with light spicy hints of licorice. On the palate, the soft entry is accompanied by vibrant sensations and supported by well-placed tannins that introduce a fresh and savory finish.
